The Inheritance - watch online. Sincere and Simple Thoughts: International Mystery. Whenever I watch an episode of Annika Bengtzon, a Swedish mystery series, I'm reminded of a comic book character I used to read as a kid, Brenda Starr, Reporter.

Sincere and Simple Thoughts: International Mystery

Brenda Starr, the comic, was created in the 1940's as a tough, glamorous and adventurous woman reporter for a major newspaper, at a time when most women reporters were relegated to the "style" or "home" pages. I used to read it decades later as part of the comics page of every Sunday newspaper. I should also mention the creator of Brenda Starr was a woman, Dale Messick. Annika Bengtzon, the Swedish TV Series, is based on the novels of Liza Marklund, Malin Crepin (Annika Bengtzon) and Liza Marklund Liza Marklund is a journalist and crime novelist who is also know for the Maria Ericksson novels. I've watched all the Annika Bengtzon episodes aired so far on MHz Networks, who are my primary and much loved source of international TV series, and has become another favorite Nordic Noir series produced by Yellow Bird.

Auch wenn das Ganze betont international war, waren natürlich 90% der Aussteller aus Japan. Man konnte sich über Neuentwicklungen und -erscheinungen informieren, handeln und natürlich Anime schauen. Ich war als Presse-Vertreter dort und dementsprechend Jagdobjekt eines jeden Ausstellers, die mir alle Infos und Kram in die Hand drückten. Große Köpfe, große Augen, viele kleine Mädchen – und alles in Bewegung. Doraemon Das ich ein Fan japanischer Popkultur bin, konnte man ja bereits mehrmals hier lesen.
